[PATCH v2 55/76] sysctl: Enable PARISC "unaligned-trap" to be used cross-arch

[Vineet Gupta]

PARISC defines /proc/sys/kernel/unaligned-trap to runtime toggle
unaligned access emulation.

The exact mechanics of enablig/disabling are still arch specific, we can
make the sysctl usable by other arches.
